Booba, known as Buba in Russian, is the wordless star of the animated children's series of the same name, where he explores everyday objects and reacts to everything with grunts, squeaks and gestures instead of dialogue. Bombit is Russian slang for blowing up with anger, which is exactly how fans labelled this outburst when sharing it in edits and chats. Because there is no spoken language to translate, the clip travelled easily beyond its original audience and became a universal shorthand for a small character having a very big, very theatrical rage.
